The Sweet Side Of Design
Engineering Services
Engineering for Production
The bottom line rests on a foundation of solid and practical hardware design. Every detail must serve a purpose and be as easy to manufacture as possible. Nectar’s experience and skills result in products that exceed the customer’s expectations while meeting challenging cost targets.

- Design for Assembly & Serviceability
Mechanism Development
A strong design team will have the talent to come up with a creative solution, and the skills to carry it out. Beginning with a fresh and unbiased look at a problem and systematically working through potential approaches, Nectar has a well proven record for resolving tough problems with simple solutions.

Theoretical Analysis
Choosing the appropriate tool to analyze a system or component can save time and money. Computer simulation of mechanisms, structures, flow and thermal can reduce the need for prototyping and testing, while in many cases a well conceived physical mockup or breadboard can result in faster iteration and a more complete understanding. Nectar’s familiarity with all these methods gives us the freedom to move ahead effectively and assure the desired outcome.
- Flow Thermal & Stress Analysis
- Bread-boarding
- Verification and Validation
- Specifications
Production Support
While many projects require pushing technology into new territory, by constantly considering the needs of production, Nectar keeps the design well within the comfort zone on the manufacturer. Knowledge, communication and collaboration between designers and manufacturers result in shorter timelines and lower costs. From communicating the design intent to fabrication and assembly, fixturing, line balancing, packaging and shipping, Nectar can head off issues long before they develop.
